Frequently Asked Questions about Adobe
Introduction Adobe has a collection of software for designs, editing, web development, and etc. Creative Cloud is a giant hub of all the information stored on Adobe that can use the data interchangeably throughout the Adobe software. The most used application is Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader since they work with Portable Document Format (PDF) files. KBA Objective: Provides basic information on Adobe Creative Cloud, Acrobat and Terminal Server Provides instructions on requesting for Adobe Acrobat Professional Provides instructions on purchasing Adobe Creative Cloud without need for support Applicability Target Audience: Anyone associated with the University of Alberta needing to install Adobe Create Cloud for themselves or a client on a University-tagged workstation IST analysts see internal notes for access instructions Prerequisites: For purchases, supervisor / departmental approver needs to approve purchase / speed code Non-applicable: Refer to KBA – Remote directly into desktops or Terminal Server for instructions Please contact IST by calling 780-492-8000 or by portal: https://universityofalberta.freshservice.com/support/home Procedure Basic Information Define Adobe Creative Cloud Define Adobe Acrobat Define Terminal Server Standard Process 1.0 Login/Register into Adobe 1.1 Set Adobe as the Default PDF application 1.2 Set Chrome to download PDFs for Adobe 1.3 Uninstall old Adobe software 2.0 Purchase Adobe Creative Cloud 2.1 Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps 3.0 Adobe Acrobat in Terminal Server Troubleshooting Tips Frequent Questions Appendix Basic Information Define Adobe Creative Cloud Adobe Creative Cloud is a software as a service (SaaS) offering from Adobe Systems that gives users access to a collection of software for graphic design, video editing, web development, photography, and cloud services. Refer to web – Wikipedia for Adobe Creative Cloud for more details Refer to web – Wikipedia on Adobe Systems for more details Refer to web – Wikipedia for SaaS for more details In Creative Cloud, a monthly or annual subscription service is delivered over the Internet. Creative Cloud is downloaded from the Internet, installed directly on a local PC and used as long as the subscription remains valid. Online updates and multiple languages are included in the Creative Cloud subscription. Note that Creative Cloud should not be installed locally as it circumvents our licensing agreement with Adobe. The Creative Cloud is offered on the ualberta OnTheHub and it lists all of the tools that are included in the Cloud package: Refer to ualberta – OnTheHub Creative Cloud package for membership details Define Adobe Acrobat Adobe Acrobat Professional is an application provided by Adobe that enables users to create, edit and sign PDFs with multiple tools that aids with daily PDF tasks for higher productivity. Adobe Reader does enable users to sign open PDFs and fill out PDF forms but it is a free software that provides limited options compared to Adobe Acrobat Pro. However, if users only need to view PDFs and fill out the forms, Adobe Reader should be more than sufficient In terms of access, different departments may acquire Adobe Acrobat differently, so it is best to check with coworkers/supervisors if you require the whole Adobe Creative Cloud or you only need Adobe Acrobat Professional, along with any licenses available. Define Terminal Server The UofA Terminal Server (TS) is an excellent resource for working remotely and provides access to shared drives and the standard applications available on a U of A office computer. Refer to KBA – Remote directly into desktops or Terminal Server for more information/instructions on TS. Currently, UofA only provides TS to computers that are connected to the central STS domain. There are faculties outside of the central domain that cannot connect to the standard UofA network (e.g. Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry FOMD, or Botanical Gardens, etc.) Refer to KBA - Confirming if your computer is part of the Central Domain, if you want to check if you have access to TS TS does not provide access to Adobe Acrobat 2020 by default so you are unable to edit PDFs on the TS. This article provides instructions for accessing to Adobe Acrobat 2020 on the TS.

You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." Solution: Follow instructions mentioned in Section 1.1 for default pdf reader Q: I had the free version of Adobe Creative Cloud on their computer and due to circumstances, their hard drive has been wiped/replaced. Can I get Adobe CC back for free? No All installations must be done via the Adobe Creative Cloud application. Licenses of older software versions have expired and no longer valid. Please be advised: Analysts should NOT be installing Adobe Creative Cloud from external hard drives any longer. This circumvents our licensing agreement with Adobe. Q: I previously had the Adobe Acrobat application on the computer, which has been replaced/wiped. Can I get access back? Depending on how your department handles Adobe Acrobat, your department may already have the license to it without purchasing (e.g., either through Terminal Server (TS) or local installation) Inquire your departmental approver / supervisor if the department has a pre-purchased license After inquiring, contact IST by calling 780-492-8000 or by portal: https://universityofalberta.freshservice.com/support/home for TS access or local installation Q: I have a lab with multiple computers and do not want to create a separate Adobe account for every single one. What do I do? Adobe Creative Cloud may be purchased as a Device License. This allows the installation to be tied with a computer workstation, rather than a user account. Refer to web – Creative Cloud Education for more information After determining if this is the best option, contact IST by calling 780-492-8000 or by portal: https://universityofalberta.freshservice.com/support/home Appendix Contact – IST KBA - Confirming if your computer is part of the Central Domain KBA – Purchasing Software through OnTheHub KBA – Remote directly into desktops or Terminal Server ualberta – OnTheHub ualberta – OnTheHub Creative Cloud package Web – Adobe Web – Adobe Download Creative Cloud apps Web – Creative Cloud Cleaner tool Web – Creative Cloud Education web – Manage apps and services with the Creative Cloud desktop app Web – Wikipedia – Adobe Creative Cloud Web – Wikipedia – Adobe Systems Web – Wikipedia – Software as a Service Additional Considerations (Notes) [n/a] Back to Top

Microsoft Office O365 Change
Introduction This article is to help with the pending O365 changes to campus that take effect on May 31, 2024 Applicability This article is for all faculty/staff/students that have or have had an O365 account from signing up via onthehub Upcoming Changes to University Provided Office/Microsoft 365 Account Offerings Microsoft 365 has announced changes to its storage policy in which free data storage will no longer be available. As such, Information Services and Technology (IST) has been actively planning for this transition and making the necessary changes in response to Microsoft’s storage policy update. This involves IST transitioning eligible University Office 365 users (active staff and students) to new Microsoft 365 accounts that align with the new storage policy. How does this impact me? Effective June 1, 2024, current University Office 365 users will no longer be able to log in to or access their current Office 365 account provided through OnTheHub, including any data stored therein. New Microsoft 365 accounts will be automatically issued to active students and staff for use while they are with the University. As these accounts are not provided as a storage solution, data will not be exported from current accounts or migrated to the new Microsoft 365 accounts by IST. If you wish to keep any data currently in your University provided Office 365 account (OneDrive, OneNote, etc) you must download your data by May 31, 2024. Following this date, these accounts will be discontinued and any data therein will no longer be accessible. Therefore, it is imperative that Office 365 account holders download their data prior to May 31, 2024. What do I need to do? To prepare for this change and prevent losing data stored in your account, download a copy of your data from your Office 365 account before May 31, 2024. To do this, follow the instructions provided in the links below. Download files and folders from OneDrive Download files and folders from SharePoint Export OneNote Notebooks *** In order for OneNote Notebooks to be downloaded in a useable format, please follow the instruction on the Export OneNote Notebooks section*** Additionally, if you have any installed Microsoft Office apps (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) using your current Office 365 account, you will need to log in to the Office apps using your new Microsoft 365 account credentials as of June 1, 2024. This should simply involve entering your ccid@ualberta.ca email as your username and your CCID password when you are automatically prompted to sign in by the Office software. Further support information can be found on the Microsoft Support page. What happens next? After May 31, active University Staff and Students will have new Microsoft 365 accounts automatically created for them for use during their time with the University. These accounts will be automatically synced to use your ccid@ualberta.ca email address as the user name and your CCID password. (Note: if you see a message appear after entering your login credentials asking you to choose your account type, select “work/school.”). After May 31, it will no longer be required to request Microsoft 365 accounts through the UAlberta OnTheHub. You can find detailed steps on logging in to Microsoft 365 in the links below Sign in to the dashboard for you M3645 account How to sign in to installed Office apps Please be aware that we continue to offer Microsoft 365 accounts expressly for the purpose of making Microsoft Office 365 applications (Word, Excel, & Powerpoint) available to active students or staff as needed. Your new University Microsoft 365 account is not intended as a storage solution and any other uses of your M365 account can not be supported by IST. Why is this happening? Due to global changes by Microsoft around licensing and storage allotments, the U of A needs to modify its current offerings to now align with those from Microsoft 365. What do I do with my data? When requesting Office 365 accounts through OnTheHub, requesters were presented a notice that Office 365 should not be used as a storage solution. Consequently, it is required for account holders storing data in their Office 365 accounts to download their existing data and seek alternative storage options, such as your University of Alberta Google Drive, prior to May 31, 2024. What happens if I miss the May 31, 2024 deadline? All current University Office 365 accounts provided though OnTheHub and access to them will be discontinued after May 31, 2024, so it is imperative to ensure you have downloaded your data prior to the deadline. Can U of A help me with downloading my data? No. Account holders will be required to manage and download their data themselves. The steps to download your data are provided by Microsoft support in the links below. Download files and folders from OneDrive Export OneNote Notebooks Support information for other Office/Microsoft 365 applications can be accessed through the Microsoft Support pages..
